I am attempting to group items in a flat file. Here is a sample of the
input:
<testbody>
<p class="test">A</p>
<p class="head-testname">Reading
Comprehension</p>
<p class="bodytext-directionsrevise">Directions: Read the
selection. Then answer the questions that follow.</p>
<p class="head-selectiontitle">Jason and the Golden
Fleece</p>
<p class="bodytext-selectionintro">In Greek
mythology, ....</p>
<p class="bodytext-numbered">1 King Pelias of Greece,
....</p>
<p class="bodytext-question"><span class="x-qnumber-bold">1</
span>The word invincible in paragraph 14 means—</p>
<p class="bodytext-choice"> A “full of joy.”</p>
<p class="bodytext-choice"> B “not happy.”</p>
<p class="bodytext-choice"> C “having good
judgment.”</p>
<p class="bodytext-choice"> D “unable to be
defeated.”</p>
<p class="bodytext-question"><span class="x-qnumber-bold">2</
span>This story can be described as an epic tale because—</p>
<p class="bodytext-choice"> F someone with magical powers helps
the main character.</p>
<p class="bodytext-choice"> G an ordinary person
finds courage. </p>
<p class="bodytext-choice"> H a hero travels to perform a
difficult task for his country. </p>
<p class="bodytext-choice"> J a good character confronts evil
forces.</p>
<p class="bodytext-
directionsrule1">Directions: Read the selection. Then answer the
questions that follow.</p>
<p class="head-selectiontitle">Freight</p>
<p class="bodytext-selectionintro">This is an excerpt
....</p>
<p class="bodytext-subhead">Cast of
Characters</p>
<p class="oldstyles-normal">ABBY, 13 years
old</p>
<p class="oldstyles-normal">LABAN, a slave
owner</p>
<p class="oldstyles-normal">TUCKER, his
overseer</p>
<p class="bodytext-question"><span class="x-qnumber-bold">11</
span>Why are some .... parentheses?</p>
<p class="bodytext-choice"> A to tell the actors what
to do</p>
<p class="bodytext-choice"> B to tell a narrator what
to say</p>
<p class="bodytext-choice"> C to tell what sound
effects to use</p>
<p class="bodytext-choice"> D to tell the audience what is going
on</p>
</testbody>
Here is the basic grouping 2.0 template (xsl:attribute elements have
been removed) in which I am trying to group the @class='bodytext-
question and @class=bodytext-choice elements:
<xsl:template match="testbody">
<testbody>
<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-starting-with="p
[(_at_)class=('bodytext-question','bodytext-questionfirst')]">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="following-sibling::p
[(_at_)class='bodytext-choice'][4]">
<xsl:text> </
xsl:text><xsl:element name="question">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="current-group()"/>
</
xsl:element><xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="current-
group()"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</testbody>
</xsl:template>
This template works for bodytext-questions that are followed by other
bodytext-questions. But it also groups everything from the start of
<testbody> to the first bodytext-question as well as everything that
follows the last of a series of bodytext-questions.
<testbody>

I suspect that I should be using group-adjacent but am I unsure how to
go ahead with such grouping in this case.
